The phony human rights activist was clearly excusing Hamas activities against Israel and implying Israel violates human rights by acting in self-defense. Human Rights Watch is funded by Saudi Arabia and even has Fatima Ayub on its Board who calls the Taliban and Al Qaeda "freedom fighters" against the US. His comments on the RT propaganda broadcast were clearly biased and he was invited to attack and smear Israel. Yes, he's a phony human rights activist as he voices no complaints against Hamas in Gaza and how they treat their own. And what kind of fool would say the Qassem rockets hardly EVER do any damage???Google Afik Zahavi you insensitive thing. The missiles have killed not just Jews but Israeli Arabs also. Is it ok if I throw rocks at you because I think they hardly would ever hurt you and that this would justify your not defending yourself? Ridiculous.

Gaza was home to three Jewish communities before 1948 lost to Egypt. Gaza was part of Biblical Israel. Gaza was Egypt prior to 1967. Israel deported 8,000 Jews from communities that were built on sand dunes that didn't belong to anyone prior to the building. Still, Israel deported all the Jews to show they wanted peace. Businesses were left behind that employed the Palestinians when they were owned by Jews but the Arabs looted and destroyed everything, even synagogues when the Jews left. The settlements were never illegal under the UN but legal per Resolution 242 per Eugene Rostow who wrote it. You repeat the Big LIE TECHNIQUE. Keep repeating the Big Lie until people believe it's true. The settlements are not illegal. After 1967 Israel took back settlements lost in the West Bank in 1948 too.

The other Big Lie is that Jews from the US are the ones who comes and build settlements in the West Bank. The majority of Israelis in the West Bank are from Israel. Your blind hatred for Jews in the region leads you believe and repeat all manner of propaganda and lies, as did Dr. Pipes opposition in this biased broadcast by the anti-Israel RT. By the way, Ken O'Keefe is not that jerk's real name. He's a ripoff artist who embezzles money destined for Palestinians. His cheering for Saddam Hussein and the Taliban show his true colors. In private he rants about Jews then claims in public he's not an anti-Semite. He could only appeal to someone like you who ignores history and facts then pretends to lecture the unknowing,
